Public opinion about public health--California and the United States, 1996.
Despite widespread belief that public support is critical to the success of public health programs and agencies, systematic efforts to measure public opinion about public health have been limited. This report summarizes surveys conducted by two organizations-one a public policy center in California, the other a national opinion polling firm-to measure support for public health activities. The findings indicate widespread support for community-oriented disease-prevention and health-promotion activities.
